Which type of meter is used in these lines from a poem you could not love the Dear so much Loved honor more?

The lines "you could not love the Dear so much Loved honor more" are written in iambic pentameter.

Here's how we can tell:

* Iamb: An iamb is a metrical foot consisting of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable (da-DUM).

* Pentameter: Pentameter refers to five metrical feet per line.

Let's break down the line:

* you (unstressed) could (stressed) not (unstressed) love (stressed)

* the (unstressed) Dear (stressed) so (unstressed) much (stressed)

* Loved (stressed) hon (unstressed) or (stressed) more (stressed)

You can see that each line has five iambs, making it iambic pentameter. This meter is very common in English poetry, especially in sonnets and other traditional forms.
